The Kitimat Chinese Association was founded in 1985. Their purpose was to strengthen ties between the Chinese-Canadian community and the rest of Kitimat by sharing Chinese culture and contributing to community events. They held three annual gatherings - Chinese New Year, Christmas, and a summer picnic - and participated in other activities such as Multicultural Day, Canada Day, and Canada Cancer Society's Relay of Life. The association disbanded in December 2008 as most of the members got older and retired.

History / Biographical
Lyle was born into the Beaver Clan but was adopted into his father's Eagle Clan in a move to bolster the group's diminishing numbers. The event had an immense impact on Lyle's life and inspired much of his art. In 2012, Lyle created a solo exhibition Paint, a life-long exploration of Haisla art, language and culture. Lyle's primary artistic influence was his uncle, Sammy Robinson. Lyle would watch the older man and copy him, whittling his own pieces. But it wasn't until Lyle attended the University of British Columbia (UBC) that he contemplated art as a potential profession. He initially focused on art education but found the studio more alluring. Eventually, Lyle left UBC to study printmaking at the Emily Carr College of Art and Design, where he developed a personal style in graphics and three-dimensional wood and jewelry compositions. Lyle was an artist in residence at the UBC Museum of Anthropology (MOA). His pieces are shown at institutions in Canada and Japan.
